Ultimate Bridgerton-Inspired England Itinerary (7 Days!)
So you’ve fallen in love with the world and stories of Bridgerton and caught yourself daydreaming about exploring its stunning streets, palaces, and parklands yourself…
But which Bridgerton filming locations are actually worth visiting – and how do you see them without endless planning or complicated logistics?
This 7-day, Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary combines the most beautiful, recognisable spots into one easy, realistic route across London, Surrey, Berkshire and Bath – so you can step into the world of the Ton without spending weeks planning!
Well, I grew up near London and spent years visiting these places, long before they were made famous by the small screen.
So in this guide, I’ve mapped out the transport routes, timed the day trips, and filtered out the spots that simply don’t live up to the hype, so you’re not wasting a single moment.
If you’re dreaming of your main-character Bridgerton moment, this guide will walk you through it all – from historic royal palaces to hidden gem gardens!

Is a Bridgerton Trip Actually Worth It?
If you’ve fallen in love with the Netflix show Bridgerton, yes, visiting the most beautiful filming spots is absolutely worth it… But only if you prioritise the right locations!
Because not every Bridgerton filming location in England is as magical in real life.
Some are private estates you can’t enter, others can only be visited if you are hiring the venue for a wedding or event, and others are blink-and-you’ll-miss-it streets that aren’t worth the detour.
That’s why this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary isn’t a huge checklist of every place ever used on screen, but a route of the locations that are genuinely beautiful, accessible and amazing to visit – even if you’ve never watched the show!
The Bridgerton connection is a bonus rather than the whole purpose of your trip.
You’re not just ticking off filming spots, but exploring historic royal palaces, hidden gem landscaped gardens, and historic cities that are already worth visiting in their own right!
How Many Days Do You Need for a Bridgerton-Inspired England Itinerary?
The full version of this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary is designed for 7 days.
But if that sounds exhausting, don’t worry!
The beauty of this itinerary, compared to others, is that you can do all of it easily from just one hotel – no constant unpacking and repacking here!
But, if 7 days really does sound like too much for your trip, you also absolutely don’t have to follow this itinerary day-for-day or visit every single stop.
Throughout this guide, I’ll share which locations are must-sees, which are lovely but optional, and which are easy to swap if you want to slow down or add something else!
7-Day Bridgerton Itinerary: Logistics
How to Visit Bridgerton Filming Locations WITH a Car
If you’re comfortable driving in the UK, doing this Bridgerton itinerary with a car is the easiest and most flexible option.
With a car, you’re not tied to train or bus timetables, you can arrive early before the crowds, and you can combine nearby stops on the same day if you wish!
A car also tends to be more affordable when you compare multiple train tickets and a stay in central London with a single rental split across the week.
If you don’t already have a car in the UK, renting is straightforward.
I recommend hiring a car from Discover Cars, as they let you pick up from major airports or central locations, which means you can start your trip easily without complicated transfers!
Where to Stay If You’re Driving
If you’re completing this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary WITH a car, staying in central London is more hassle than it’s worth.
Parking is limited, expensive, and confusing (even for us locals!)
Instead, I recommend you base yourself in a nearby town like Esher or Weybridge.
They’re charming, quiet, and well-located for most of the countryside Bridgerton filming locations in Surrey, Berkshire and Windsor – so less time in traffic and more time exploring!
In Esher, West End Lodge is a great option with breakfast included and free parking.
In Weybridge, the Best Western Ship Hotel lets you add parking for a small nightly fee and breakfast if you want it, which keeps things flexible depending on your budget.
How to Visit Bridgerton Filming Locations WITHOUT a Car
If driving isn’t your thing, you can absolutely complete this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary without a car!
England’s train network is extensive, with centrally located train stations, buses even out into the countryside, and taxis to fill in any gaps.
Plus, most major Bridgerton filming locations in London and Bath are either walkable or reachable by a short train, bus or taxi ride.
For each day of the itinerary, I’ll share clear public transport routes, realistic travel times, and honest notes on whether a place is awkward or easy to get to – so you know exactly what to expect!
Katie’s Top Tip: Each train company in England has its own app and booking system. So while you can streamline the process with an app like Trainline, I highly recommend downloading the individual apps to save money on fees.
Where to Stay in London (Without a Car)
If you’re following this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary without a car, your base in central London really matters.
I recommend staying around Paddington Train Station (close to Hyde Park).
Paddington connects you easily to all of the trains and tubes you’ll need to follow in this itinerary.
Plus, you’re also right by Hyde Park for relaxed morning walks and within easy reach of Buckingham Palace, if you’re combining this Bridgerton itinerary with a classic London trip!
The Voyage Hotel Paddington is a good budget hotel, just steps away from Paddington Station and a short walk to Hyde Park.
St David’s Hotel is a reliable mid-range option, again close to both Paddington Station and Hyde Park, located on a beautiful leafy street.
Roseate House Boutique Hotel is where to stay if you want to splurge on an elegant, luxurious stay, in a charming period building that feels like you’ve stepped into your very own Bridgerton scene!
Self-Guided vs Organised Bridgerton Tours
You’ll see plenty of options online for guided Bridgerton tours, and while they can be fun, for most of this trip, you don’t need one.
A self-guided Bridgerton tour using this Bridgerton itinerary is more affordable and gives you complete control over timing, photo stops and pacing!
The only place I think an organised Bridgerton tour can be worth it is Bath.
Bath is compact but packed with filming spots, and a passionate local guide can help you see the best of them if you’re short on time.
Plus, they will share a few behind-the-scenes details you might miss otherwise, and it can also be a nice social moment to connect with fellow fans!
Everywhere else (London, Surrey, Windsor) is very doable on your own, by following my clear transport routes and tips.
A Perfect, 7-Day Bridgerton England Itinerary
Day 1 – Hampton Court Palace
If there is one filming location on this list that instantly makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the world of the Ton, it’s Hampton Court Palace!
It’s easily one of the most recognisable Bridgerton filming locations in England, so starting your Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary here is perfect for the instant wow-factor.
With formal and landscaped gardens, stunning courtyards, and well-preserved historical interiors, you’ll definitely forget you’re not actually in Regency England here!
But even without the Bridgerton connection, Hampton Court is still genuinely impressive and well worth visiting in its own right.
Walking through Henry VIII’s Great Hall, climbing the Grand Staircase, and exploring the formal gardens gives you a real sense of England’s fascinating royal history!
Then, if you have the energy after exploring the palace and gardens:
Walk along the Thames toward Home Park, where you’ll often spot deer roaming freely.
Alternatively, walk in the opposite direction, to Hurst Park, for equally pretty River Thames views and far fewer tourists around.
Katie’s Top Tip: Leave at least 90 minutes just for the gardens. Most visitors rush them, but they’re honestly one of the best parts of the entire visit (and where the most Bridgerton filming locations are!)
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed at Hampton Court
Hampton Court appears repeatedly across the Bridgerton series and the Queen Charlotte spin-off, making it one of the most important and recognisable Bridgerton filming locations in England!
The Great Fountain Garden is used regularly throughout the show for promenading scenes, where the Ton strolls and socialises. Plus, it is also used in aerial shots.
Fountain Court is a frequent backdrop for royal scenes involving Queen Charlotte, including where she takes tea with her ladies-in-waiting.
The Privy Garden doubles as the exterior of the Queen’s palace and is also instantly recognisable to fans of season 2, as the backdrop to Anthony Bridgerton’s wedding to Edwina.
Plus, there are also more hidden corners, like Master Carpenter’s Court, which was totally transformed into London shopfronts – including scenes where Lady Whistledown delivers her society papers to be produced and Eloise visits to try to find out her identity!
Inside, the palace interiors appear during the Greek ballet scene in season 3, parts of Benedict’s art academy, and in various royal court scenes.
It’s one of the rare locations where both exterior and interior shots were filmed!
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: Hampton Court is typically open from 10am to 5:30pm, but is often closed on Mondays and Tuesdays unless it’s a UK bank holiday or school holiday. Always check the official opening times before you visit.
Tickets: I highly recommend pre-booking your ticket online, to guarantee entry but also to skip the ticket queues on arrival, which can be long during peak months.
How Long: When I visit, I always spend a full day here. There’s far more to see than you might expect, between the extensive gardens and interiors!
Best Time: Hampton Court is lovely year-round, but I most love Spring (mid-April to early May) when the palace hosts its incredible tulip festival, and the gardens are full of blooms!
Food & Drink: For lunch, the Tiltyard Café has plenty of hot and cold options, or, as I normally do, bring your own food and picnic on the benches in the Privy Garden.
Top Tip: One thing many people don’t realise is that your entry ticket includes a free audio guide (which you can collect from the shop as you enter). It covers the palace’s royal history but also its use as a Bridgerton filming location, for all the behind-the-scenes gossip!
How to Get There With a Car
Driving to Hampton Court is straightforward. From Esher, it’s around a 10-minute drive, and from Weybridge roughly 20 minutes.
The palace is clearly signed, and because you’re heading out of central London rather than into it, traffic is usually more manageable in the morning.
Parking is paid at Hampton Court Train Station, which is an easy, flat, ten-minute walk from the palace entrance.
If you have accessibility needs, you can use the accessible on-site parking at the palace.
How to Get There Without a Car
Hampton Court is one of the easiest Bridgerton filming location day trips from London!
- From Paddington Station, take the Bakerloo Tube Line to Waterloo Station (10 minutes)
- From Waterloo, hop on a South Western Railway train to Hampton Court (35 minutes)
- From the station, it’s a flat 10-minute walk across the bridge over the River Thames
Day 2 – Greenwich
In Greenwich, you’re still in London, but it definitely doesn’t feel like central London.
The streets are wider, the buildings are grander, and there’s a definite royal and maritime atmosphere that makes it easy to imagine carriages rolling past in Regency times past!
Greenwich is one of the places in this itinerary I’ve visited countless times, long before it became popular for Bridgerton, and I still never get bored with it.
There’s something so special and unique about walking down from the open, expansive greenery and stunning views of Greenwich Park, and down to the grand stone arches of the Royal Naval College, located on the banks of the River Thames.
It feels like you’re walking between two different worlds entirely!
Aside from the iconic filming locations, which I’ll share in a second, a must-see is the Royal Observatory – the home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian.
You can even stand on the Prime Meridian Line, with one foot in the eastern hemisphere and the other in the west!
Plus, there are beautiful views over the London skyline from here too.
Add in the nearby Cutty Sark if you want to tick off another London landmark, or explore the quaint side streets and pop into a café or two, for the perfect Bridgerton-Inspired day trip!
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed in Greenwich
Ranger’s House is instantly recognisable as the exterior of the Bridgerton family home.
The deep red brick, sweeping staircase and grand façade are exactly as you see them on screen, which is rare, as a lot of filming locations are mixed or heavily edited.
You could visit inside if you wish, to see an English Heritage art museum, but even just standing outside and admiring the façade from the street is a must for any Bridgerton fan!
Next, just a short walk away, the Old Royal Naval College doubles as multiple London street scenes throughout the series.
This is where Eloise and Penelope stroll through the market, where Lady Whistledown’s latest editions are passed on by young street sellers, and where many of the grand exterior London walking shots are filmed!
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: For Greenwich Park, the car park opens daily at 7am and closes at dusk. For Ranger’s House, visit the exterior at any time or visit inside the art museum on a guided tour in the summer. For the Old Royal Naval College, visit the exterior at any time.
Tickets: Greenwich Park is free. Ranger’s House is free to admire from the outside, but the interior is an English Heritage art museum, so you can pay to join a guided tour if you wish. The Old Royal Naval College is free to admire from the outside.
How Long: You’ll need at least a few hours to see the main filming locations and attractions of Greenwich Park, or a relaxed full day.
Best Time: Greenwich Park is beautiful to visit year-round, but summer has a social, fun atmosphere to it – and it’s perfect weather for picnics!
Food & Drink: There are food stalls in Greenwich Park, but I recommend packing a picnic and eating it on the grass, overlooking one of the best views in London.
Top Tip: Climb the hill in Greenwich Park for one of the best skyline views in London – and it costs absolutely nothing, which makes it even better!
How to Get There With a Car
Driving into Greenwich is doable, but this is actually one of the few days on the Bridgerton itinerary where public transport can be easier.
But, if you’re already renting on your trip, you absolutely can drive!
(Although London traffic can be unpredictable and busy, especially mid-morning and late afternoon, so I’d aim to arrive before 11am if you can).
From Esher, the drive to Greenwich Park takes around 1 hour, depending on traffic. From Weybridge, expect to take around 1 hour 15 minutes.
The best place to park is the main paid car park on Blackheath Avenue, next to Greenwich Park and within easy walking distance of Ranger’s House and the Old Royal Naval College.
How to Get There Without a Car
From Paddington Station, you’ve got a couple of options, but this is the route I recommend:
- Take the Bakerloo Line from Paddington to Baker Street (4 minutes)
- OR, if you don’t mind a walk, it’s around 20-minutes between the two stations
- From Baker Street, switch to the Jubilee Line and ride for 12 minutes to London Bridge
- At London Bridge, follow the National Rail signs and hop on a Southeastern train to Maze Hill (10 minutes)
- From Maze Hill station, it’s a 10-minute walk to Greenwich Park
Day 3 – Painshill Park
I’ve been visiting Painshill Landscape Garden for years – long before it appeared on Bridgerton – and it’s still my favourite and most-visited stop on this entire itinerary!
Plus, it is still relatively underrated compared to some of the more famous locations like Greenwich (home to Bridgerton House) and Hampton Court Palace.
It’s one of those places that feels romantic and like you’re stepping back into Regency England without even trying! Plus, it’s a great escape from the busyness of the city.
These are some of my favourite spots at Painshill that you should definitely visit:
- There is a viewpoint next to the Turkish Tent, looking back down across the lake and parkland, that is stunning and perfect for photos!
- The Grotto in the middle of the lake is super fun to explore for all ages, and you also get a different perspective of the lake from here.
- The ruined abbey and vineyard are beautiful to walk around, but equally beautiful to photograph from the opposite side of the lake.
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed at Painshill
Painshill is one of the most recognisable outdoor Bridgerton filming locations because it is used regularly for those elegant promenade scenes, where the Ton strolls by the lake.
The highlight at Painshill Park, however, is the Five Arch Bridge, where Simon and Daphne walk together in season 1.
Plus, in season 3, Painshill Park was also where the famous Regency funfair and hot air balloon scenes between Colin and Penelope were filmed.
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: Painshill is open 10am–4pm year-round, extending to 5pm in spring and 6pm in summer. Always check the official website before you visit.
Tickets: Entry is paid (or free if you’re a member of the Historic Houses Association).
How Long: You will spend at least 3-4 hours exploring Painshill, but I personally always visit for a relaxed, full day.
Best Time: Painshill is stunning year-round, but Autumn is my favourite season. The spectacular colours of the leaves at this time of year, reflected in the water, is just beautiful!
Food & Drink: There’s a lovely café serving drinks, cakes and light meals. But Painshill is also perfect for a picnic. I love walking up to the Temple of Bacchus for lunch, as the views over the countryside are beautiful!
Top Tip: Bring comfy shoes! The walks at Painshill are mostly flat and accessible, but you’ll want to explore every corner of this beautiful parkland, so comfort is a must!
How to Get There With a Car
Painshill is very straightforward if you’re driving, as there’s a free on-site car park.
From Esher, the drive is around 10 minutes, and from Weybridge, roughly 15 minutes.
How to Get There Without a Car
Painshill is doable as part of a Bridgerton day trip from London, even without a car:
- From Paddington Station, take the Bakerloo Line to Waterloo (10 minutes)
- At Waterloo, switch to a South Western Railway train to Esher (30 minutes)
- From Esher Station, you have two options:
- The budget-friendly choice is to take Bus 714 to “Between Streets”, which takes about 18 minutes and drops you close to the entrance.
- The quicker, more convenient option is a 10-minute taxi from Esher station
Day 4 – Windsor Great Park
If you do need to shorten this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary, this is a day you could cut, but don’t get me wrong: I love Windsor and absolutely recommend you visit!
Throughout the Great Park, you’ll see wide, open parklands, the spectacular Virginia Water, and colourful natural gardens waiting to be explored.
Plus, you can enjoy long, relaxed walks by the water and enjoy a feeling of space and peace that is definitely hard to find in central London!
You could even combine Windsor Great Park with a visit to Windsor Castle and the town of Windsor, for a more classic royal England experience.
My favourite walking route is the classic Virginia Water circular walk, passing by a cascade, the valley gardens, and the Five Arch Bridge, among other beautiful spots along the way.
It’s a long walk, but flat, scenic, and easy to complete with a moderate level of fitness, comfortable shoes and a bit of time to spare!
And you don’t need to worry about getting lost or planning a complicated route – just follow the lake’s edge round until you’re back where you started.
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed in Windsor Great Park
In Season 2, Windsor Great Park served as the backdrop for Anthony and Kate’s dramatic horse-riding scenes as well as the hunting sequences.
In Season 4, the Great Park (and specifically the famous Long Walk) was also used to show part of Benedict and Sophie’s long journey back from My Cottage.
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: Windsor Great Park is open daily, between 7am and dusk.
Tickets: Windsor Great Park is free to enter. If you want to visit the famous Savill Garden, you will have to pay an entry fee.
How Long: If you just want to explore Windsor Great Park, you can do that in half a day. If you want to visit the Savill Garden or drive to nearby Windsor Castle, you’ll need a full day.
Best Time: Windsor Great Park is lovely year-round, but in summer it is totally dreamy for relaxed walks by the lake and enjoying a picnic in the grass by the water!
Food & Drink: There are cafés and facilities at the Savill Garden and Virginia Water car parks, but if you’re planning to walk, this may not always be convenient. Because of this, I recommend packing a picnic.
Top Tip: Start at the Long Walk early in the morning for the quietest, cinematic views. It does get busy as the day goes on!
How to Get There With a Car
Driving is by far the easiest way to visit Windsor Great Park.
From Esher, the drive is around 40 minutes, and from Weybridge, around 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Windsor Great Park is well signposted.
When you arrive, there are a few main paid public car parks, spread around the park:
Savill Garden Car Park (facilities): Best if you just want to visit the Savill Garden.
Virginia Water (facilities) / Virginia Water South (no facilities): Ideal if you want to do the famous circular lake walk, see the cascade and the valley gardens.
If you’re driving, you also have the option to make Windsor Great Park a half-day stop and then continue to Windsor town afterwards.
This works perfectly because Windsor Castle and the Long Walk (another Bridgerton filming location!) are iconic to visit in their own right, for a truly perfect day.
How to Get There Without a Car
Reaching the Great Park without a car is awkward, so I recommend making a small adjustment if you’re doing this Bridgerton filming locations without a car.
Instead of the Great Park, visit Windsor town, Windsor Castle, and the Long Walk instead – you’ll still see beautiful scenery and a confirmed season 4 filming location!
- From Paddington Station, take a Great Western Railway train to Slough (17 minutes)
- At Slough, change to another Great Western Railway train to Windsor & Eton Central (6 minutes)
- From the station, everything is walkable, including Windsor Castle, the beautiful Thames riverside, the famous Long Walk, cafés, and shops.
Day 5 – Basildon Park
If you’re a fan of Kate and Anthony or Penelope and Colin’s love stories, Basildon Park is where some of the most romantic moments for those couples took place!
What I especially love about Basildon Park is that it still feels like a peaceful, relatively underrated countryside escape, rather than a busy tour stop – so you can actually slow down and enjoy the gardens!
As well as the house and garden, famed for Bridgerton filming, the walking routes around the parkland are another highlight I would highly recommend to extend your day.
You can choose anything from a gentle 0.5-mile stroll to a full 3-mile woodland and parkland walk, depending on your abilities and how much time you have.
When I visit Basildon, I love combining the gardens with the 1.5-mile woodland walk, as it gives me the iconic filming locations and a relaxed country getaway in one visit!
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed at Basildon Park
Basildon Park is one of the most romantic Bridgerton filming locations in England!
In Season 2, the estate doubled as the Featherington family garden, and the rose garden was the unforgettable setting for Kate and Anthony’s kiss as fireworks lit up the evening sky.
Plus, in Season 3, the formal gardens returned as the setting for Colin and Penelope’s famous first kiss, so fans of both couples will recognise this location instantly!
And the interiors were also used as Lady Tilley Arnold’s home, which you can see if you choose to visit inside the mansion during your visit.
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: Basildon Park is a National Trust property, open year-round. Opening times vary slightly, based on the season, so I recommend checking online before you visit.
Tickets: Entry is free for National Trust members. Non-members pay an admission fee that covers the house, gardens and parkland.
How Long: If you just want to visit inside the mansion and see the gardens, you can visit Basildon in half a day. If you want to walk the parkland too, you’ll need a full day.
Best Time: Basildon Park can be visited year-round, but I recommend summer (specifically June), if you want to see the gorgeous roses in full bloom.
Food & Drink: National Trust cafés are reliably good for light lunches and homemade cakes. You’re also welcome to bring a picnic, which I personally love doing here!
Top Tip: The earlier in the morning you visit, the quieter you’ll find the most popular Bridgerton filming locations, like the rose garden and formal garden.
How To Get There With a Car
Driving to Basildon Park is the easiest and most stress-free option.
From Esher it takes around 1 hour, and from Weybridge it takes just under an hour, depending on the traffic.
Once you get close, the brown National Trust signs make navigation simple.
And there is a large National Trust car park onsite.
How To Get There Without a Car
Visiting Basildon Park is absolutely doable without a car:
- From Paddington, take the Great Western Railway train to Goring & Streatley (1 hour)
- From Goring & Streatley station, you have two options:
- The 93 bus to the Basildon Park gates (cheaper but less frequent)
- Or a short taxi ride from the station, taking around 8 minutes
- Once you’re at the gates, it’s a short walk to the house and gardens
Day 6 – Ham House
I’m genuinely excited to share this one with you, as, at the time of writing, Ham House is still an underrated, hardly mentioned, brand-new addition to the Bridgerton filming locations!
Because of this, it still feels like a bit of a secret.
Ham House is a small but beautiful riverside estate near the town of Richmond.
It is technically located in London, but it absolutely doesn’t feel like you’re in the capital at all – especially once you’re out walking by the Thames or exploring the gardens!
As I said, Ham House is a lot smaller than many of the more famous stops on this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary, but that’s just part of its charm.
You can easily explore the interiors and formal gardens, and still have plenty of time and energy left to visit nearby Richmond or even another filming location like Osterley House!
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed at Ham House
Ham House may be a newer addition to the list of Bridgerton filming locations in England, but it’s already iconic for fans!
It doubles as the rear exterior of Bridgerton House, and is most famous as the setting for the private terrace scene during the masquerade ball in season 4, episode 1.
In the scene, filmed at Ham House, Benedict and Sophie share their first dance and first kiss, with Sophie disguised as Benedict’s lady in silver!
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: Ham House is a National Trust property, open year-round. But opening times vary slightly, based on the season, so I recommend checking online before you visit.
Tickets: Entry is free for National Trust members. Non-members pay an admission fee that covers the house and gardens.
How Long: You only need a few hours to explore Ham House and Gardens, so I recommend you spend the rest of your day in nearby Richmond, relaxing by the Thames!
Best Time: Ham House and Garden can be visited year-round, but it is especially beautiful in summer, when the lavender is in full bloom.
Food & Drink: There’s a café onsite, where you can grab lunch, coffee or just a slice of cake. The produce served often comes from the kitchen garden!
Top Tip: Definitely walk along the Thames to or from Richmond if you can, it’s a big part of the experience!
How To Get There With a Car
Driving to Ham House is simple and quick, compared to some of the other countryside stops on this Bridgerton itinerary.
From Esher it’s around 25 minutes, and from Weybridge around 40 minutes, depending on traffic. Again, you will see brown National Trust signs as you approach Ham House.
Parking is free at Ham Street Car Park.
You can also easily combine your visit with nearby Osterley House afterwards (about 25 minutes away) if you want to see the interiors used for the Full Moon Ball in season 3!
How To Get There Without a Car
Ham House is actually one of the easier Bridgerton filming locations without a car.
- From Paddington Station, take the Hammersmith & City line to Hammersmith (12 minutes)
- Then switch to the District line to Richmond (15 minutes)
- From Richmond, you have two options:
- Take the 371 bus to Ham Street (20 minutes, drops you close to the entrance)
- Or you can walk along the Thames for 30 minutes to reach Ham House
If you are able, I highly recommend the riverside walk! The path is flat and incredibly scenic, plus there are always dog walkers and people around, so it never feels isolated.
Day 7 – Day Trip to Bath
Bath is the grand finale of this Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary, and the whole city feels like you’ve stepped straight onto a Regency film set!
I would describe the city as effortlessly romantic, with honey-coloured stone buildings, curved streets, elegant bridges crossing the beautiful River Avon, and cafés on every corner.
To extend this itinerary, you could stay overnight, but if you only have one day, you can absolutely still see all the key Bridgerton filming locations Bath is famous for!
If you are just visiting for the day, I recommend joining a local Bridgerton walking tour.
A brilliant local guide, Paul, runs a 2-hour experience that takes you to the most famous Bridgerton filming locations in Bath, including the Modiste’s shop, Lady Danbury’s house and the Royal Crescent, while sharing behind-the-scenes stories about filming!
Plus, it’s also a lovely way to meet fellow fans!
But if organised Bridgerton tours aren’t your thing, Bath is also perfect for a self-guided walk:
- Abbey Green (The Modiste’s Shop)
- Roman Baths & Bath Abbey
- Trim Street (Gunter’s Tea Shop)
- Royal Crescent (London streets + the Featherington House – no. 1 Royal Crescent)
- Assembly Rooms (where Daphne and Simon first meet in season 1)
- Pulteney Bridge
- Holburne Museum (Lady Danbury’s House)
The actual walking time is about an hour total, but you’ll of course spend longer stopping for photos, grabbing drinks at a café or even entering inside the Assembly Rooms.
Scenes Bridgerton Filmed in Bath
Bath is one of the most significant locations for Bridgerton filming in England, and you’ll likely recognise a lot from the small screen when you visit!
The Holburne Museum of Art stands in as Lady Danbury’s estate.
The Royal Crescent doubles as both the Featherington residence (No. 1 Royal Crescent) and the grand streets of London throughout the series.
Plus, Abbey Green appears as the Modiste’s shop, and Trim Street transforms into Gunter’s Tea Shop for the show.
For interiors, the Bath Assembly Rooms (owned by the National Trust) are iconic, as this is where Daphne and Simon first meet in season one.
Practical Info:
Opening Hours: You can visit Bath at any time of day, throughout the year.
Tickets: Bath is free to explore, as well as most filming spots, like the Royal Crescent and Abbey Green. But a few attractions do charge entry, for example, the Bath Assembly Rooms (Bridgerton filming location!) and the Roman Baths.
How Long: You’ll need at least a full day to see the best of Bath!
Best Time: Bath is beautiful to visit at any time of year, but I really love visiting in Spring, as it’s a lot quieter at this time of year than in summer.
Food & Drink: Café culture is strong in Bath! You’ll find everything from easy bakeries to sit-down restaurants within a few minutes’ walk of any filming location.
Top Tip: It’s not a filming location, but if you want to visit the Roman Baths, book your tickets in advance. They are very popular and do sell out, especially on weekends.
How To Get There With a Car
Driving to Bath is doable, but it’s the longest drive on this Bridgerton itinerary.
From Esher or Weybridge, you’re looking at around 2 hours via the busy M25 and M4.
I recommend leaving as early as you can to avoid traffic building up (especially on weekends).
For parking, I recommend the paid Avon Street Car Park, as it’s central and close to all of the main Bridgerton filming locations you’ll want to visit.
Once parked, you won’t need your car again for the day, as Bath is very walkable.
How To Get There Without a Car
Bath is one of the easiest Bridgerton filming location day trips from London without a car!
From London Paddington, simply take the direct Great Western Railway train to Bath Spa, which takes around 1 hour 25 minutes with no changes.
Trains run frequently throughout the day, and Bath Spa station is right in the city centre, so you step off the train, and you’re already where you need to be!
And as with driving, once you arrive, everything is easily walkable.
Best Time of Year for a Bridgerton Itinerary
If you’re planning a Bridgerton-Inspired England itinerary, timing matters:
In my opinion, as a local and regular solo traveller, England in late spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) is the sweet spot.
These times of year give you soft golden light, gardens in early or late bloom, lush green parklands (or stunning autumn colours!), and generally comfortable temperatures without the intense summer crowds.
Summer (July–August) is still a good option, especially if you prefer longer daylight hours and want the best chance of sunny skies, but it does come with trade-offs.
London and Bath are a LOT busier in summer, accommodation prices rise, and the number of tourists visiting these popular Bridgerton filming locations increases.
Winter, on the other hand, is quieter and a lot cheaper (apart from the peak Christmas season in central London), but you’ll need to plan around shorter daylight hours, more limited opening hours, and unpredictable weather.
But, if you love cosy city walks, Christmas lights, and fewer crowds, a winter Bridgerton itinerary can still be magical!
Katie’s Top Tip: If you want blooming wisteria, green parklands, and the closest match to Bridgerton’s aesthetic, aim to visit between late April and early June!
